Nickcarraway will have to answer for himself, but there are some Conservative judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. They’re just in the minority, and don’t prevail.
This guy may have been a Constitutionalist judge. I don’t really know.
I did find this article: http://beta.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-judge-alex-kozinski-20171218-story.html
It refers to him as a Conservative.
Of note, it also says, “Judge Stephen Reinhardt, considered the most liberal jurist on the 9th Circuit, called Kozinski’s retirement ‘a great loss to the court.’”
In another place it references the two judges in the following manner.
“Reinhardt and Kozinski were dubbed ‘the odd couple’ many years ago because they were friends, despite coming from opposite ends of the political spectrum and often penning dueling rulings and commentary.”
I’m sorry, but their were never many judge like Kozinski, and there are fewer and fewer. There are less and less conservative judges, but especially of his caliber. These were rash and reckless acts by him.
